Board Game - Tily´s Questionnaire...

The Creative Department of the 3. Klasse designed a brand new board game called

"TILY`S QUESTIONNAIRE"

This game leads the players through Europe with Tily - asking very personal questions.

Karli and Steini are making the way to the finish sometimes more complicated.

We produced all the materials (except the dices) - as usual - ourselfes.

We will present the written form the rules of the game a bit later - after our meeting in Austria in May.

The picture shows only a detail of the game..

But the hit is our video presentation - a very unique presentation - a singular event - or however you want to name it.




May be you can help us by giving comments!!!!

Thank you!

Old Outdoor Games - Rubber Twist / Rubber String Jump

It is an old and simple game, but very important for children to learn co-ordination, movements, speed and jumping!

• A rubber string is stretched between two children standing opposite
• A third child jumpes over - into - on- over the string, according to agreed rules
• If it succeeds, the level goes up by elevating the height of the string

The child may also jump following certain commandos like :

HAU - RUCK - DONALD - DUCK - MICKY - MAUS - MITTE - RAUS

Every word/command means jumping a special figure...

Mistakes:

• landing on the wrong rubber string
• get entangled in the string
• touching the string
• wrong choreography...

TRY it with your children!

We built the stilts ourselfes - of course... then we tested them.

Or did the stilts test our feeling for balance???

Here are some funny pictures...

First successful efforts...

Can!

Sometimes only with a little help from my friends...










It was a very successful day, and next year we have to produce stilts - according to the spontaneuous children´s wishes - to take home for their private use...
